  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: udp: do not accept non-tunnel GSO skbs
    landing in a tunnel When rx-udp-gro-forwarding is enabled UDP packets might be GROed when being forwarded.
    If such packets might land in a tunnel this can cause various issues and udp_gro_receive makes sure this
    isn't the case by looking for a matching socket. This is performed in udp4/6_gro_lookup_skb but only in
    the current netns. This is an issue with tunneled packets when the endpoint is in another netns. In such
    cases the packets will be GROed at the UDP level, which leads to various issues later on. The same thing
    can happen with rx-gro-list. We saw this with geneve packets being GROed at the UDP level. In such case
    gso_size is set; later the packet goes through the geneve rx path, the geneve header is pulled, the offset
    are adjusted and frag_list skbs are not adjusted with regard to geneve. When those skbs hit skb_fragment,
    it will misbehave. Different outcomes are possible depending on what the GROed skbs look like; from
    corrupted packets to kernel crashes. One example is a BUG_ON[1] triggered in skb_segment while processing
    the frag_list. Because gso_size is wrong (geneve header was pulled) skb_segment thinks there is geneve
    header size of data in frag_list, although it's in fact the next packet. The BUG_ON itself has nothing to
    do with the issue. This is only one of the potential issues. Looking up for a matching socket in
    udp_gro_receive is fragile: the lookup could be extended to all netns (not speaking about performances)
    but nothing prevents those packets from being modified in between and we could still not find a matching
    socket. It's OK to keep the current logic there as it should cover most cases but we also need to make
    sure we handle tunnel packets being GROed too early. This is done by extending the checks in
    udp_unexpected_gso: GSO packets lacking the SKB_GSO_UDP_TUNNEL/_CSUM bits and landing in a tunnel must be
    segmented. [1] kernel BUG at net/core/skbuff.c:4408! RIP: 0010:skb_segment+0xd2a/0xf70
    __udp_gso_segment+0xaa/0x560 (CVE-2024-35884)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.");
